Moles that are dark black in colour, or which have multiple colours in them

Moles that are larger than the diameter of an eraser on the end of a pencil

The signs of spring have begun to pop up all over the place. For many people it is the time to do a thorough household spring clean. Although this annual ritual is a great way to invite spring into our homes, it also can carry potential health risks. As you begin your spring cleaning bring awareness to how you are using your body for these activities. It is important to stretch before spring cleaning. A little stretching can go along way to prevent straining or pulling a muscle. Learning how to properly protect your lower back is one of the best things you can do for your body. 90% of adults experience lower back pain at one point in their lives. We often hear "I was just"as a precursor to an explanation of how somebody hurt themselves during household chores or everyday activities. Many people do not think of house cleaning as exercise but did you know that housecleaning can burn up to 200 calories an hour!

Avoid the combination of bending and twisting as it puts you at a higher risk of back injury.

Apple Magazine is Alberta Health Services’ health and wellness magazine. It’s filled with information you and your family can use to make your lives healthier. It is published four times a year. The most recent issue is on Our Brain. There are several wonderful articles in this issue about children's brain development.
